Journalism Internships Abroad

Work on a newspaper, magazine, radio, or TV show on an overseas placement

Projects Abroad Journalism internships are a unique way of honing your journalism skills, building a portfolio and getting international work experience.

Our media internships abroad cover radio, print, digital, and TV journalism. You’ll be working with professional journalists, seeing their day-to-day work and getting to try your hand at new skills. You could be researching and writing stories, helping with the smooth running of the project, or working on distribution.

You’ll also get a better understanding of the cultural and political background of the country you’re interning in.

Is a Journalism internship abroad right for me?

Our media internships abroad are right for any aspiring or professional journalists who want to learn new things or experience a new environment.

No previous experience is needed, and our staff will support you throughout your internship. Journalism is a challenging career to break into, and this internship will give you valuable experience you can put on your CV.

You’ll be able to gain journalism experience abroad in a supported way as you explore the area and get to know the local community.

The ability to work and empathise with people of different cultures and backgrounds, helping to develop a ‘global mindset’.

Confidence from pushing past your comfort zone.

All of the above will enhance your CV, UCAS applications, and your personal development.
